Three in hand now:ĮVerybody has an opinion. With over 500 archtops in stock you can be assured that we have unbelievable guitars to fit any budget. A big step up from every other 5120 I've tried.Īt that point, I went looking for Peerless made Epiphones. Same high quality and feel, only here the guitar already had upgraded p/us.

She has a beautiful dynamic, beautifully restored and all the nuances of the game has a beautiful clean, and tolerates the crunch a little fat kustom. I use a pedalboard crossing digitech RP20, connected in stereo on a defender kustom 50 watt lamps, and a peavey 112 StudioPro. the bridge pickup is more aggressive, punchy well.
